  • Have you ever asked yourself, "Am I sick enough to need help?" Or wondered how to stop delaying your recovery and finally take those crucial first steps? If so, you're not alone. These are questions many of us grapple with, and today, we'll tackle them head-on.

    First, let's address a question I hear all too often: "How do I know if I’m ill enough?" You might think, "Other people have it worse," or "I'm not thin enough to have an eating disorder." But here's the truth: If your relationship with food and your body is negatively impacting your life, you are sick enough. You deserve help right now, not just when things get worse.

    Next, we’ll talk about readiness for recovery. You might never feel completely ready, but if you're exhausted by your current situation and yearning for a better life, that's a sign it's time to start. Committing to recovery, even amidst fear and uncertainty, can set you on a transformative path.

    We’ll also discuss how to stop delaying recovery. It’s all about facing your fears and taking action. Fear is natural, but remember, wanting to recover is different from being willing to do what it takes. With the right support, you can move forward despite your fears.

    Starting recovery often feels daunting. The best place to begin is by seeking support. Whether it’s hiring a coach, joining a support group, or confiding in loved ones, declaring your commitment to recovery is powerful. Together, we'll explore practical steps you can take to change your behaviors and embrace a healthier relationship with food.

    Finally, we'll touch on what to eat during recovery. It’s about listening to your body and mind, honoring your cravings, and letting go of restrictive habits. We’ll break down some balanced meal ideas to guide you.

    Support is crucial on this journey. Whether through coaching or connecting with a community, you don't have to do this alone.

    So, if you're ready to break free from the grip of an eating disorder and reclaim your life, you’ve come to the right place. Let's embark on this journey together.

    Main Discussion Points:

    - Factors early in life, like trauma and a mother's prenatal nutrition, that can influence weight and eating behaviors later on (timestamps: 00:05:26, 00:06:53)

    - The difference between extreme hunger and bingeing in eating disorder recovery (timestamp: 00:11:51)

    - Why we crave sweet foods when our bodies are malnourished or underfed (timestamp: 00:34:49)

    - The concept of an "imaginary line" of calories that eating disorder thoughts latch onto, and why this restrictiveness prevents healing (timestamp: 00:29:45)

    - Making peace with the unknown of where your body's set point weight will settle after recovery (timestamp: 00:16:46)

    Key Quotes:

    "You said that you felt addicted to food as a child. Now it's not possible to be addicted to food, but it is possible to feel addicted to food." (00:15:17)

    "You say that you're allowing yourself to have these sweet foods, but you're only partially allowing. You're not fully allowing yourself. Right? You're partially allowing. And that's restriction just like moderation is." (00:33:41)

    "Are you willing to do what it takes to live in freedom and natural nourishment? Which means allowing potential weight gain, of course, and then exploring all of what that means to you and healing from a holistic place." (00:37:19)

  • In this episode, Victoria interviews Jade Grantham, author of the memoir "Accept That You're Imperfect", about her 20-year battle with bulimia that started when she was just 12 years old. Jade shares her personal story of struggling with restrictive eating and purging behaviours, the shame and secrecy around her eating disorder, and her journey to recovery.

    Work with me: https://victoriakleinsman.com/11-coaching/

    Key Discussion Points:

    - Jade's eating disorder began as a way to cope with emotions and avoid discomfort during her difficult pre-teen years (00:09:07). She internalized emotions and made food her control mechanism rather than asking for help.

    - Shame and stigma prevented Jade from vocalizing her struggles for many years. She highlights the importance of open conversations around disordered eating and mental health (00:07:15).

    - Jade reflects on the role parents can play in emotional education for children. Modeling vulnerability and asking deeper questions can encourage kids to share rather than internalize problems (00:25:11).

    - Jade's turning point came when she took ownership of her eating disorder, admitting she needed help and actively wanting to recover (00:30:33).

    - Her recovery involved relearning how to feel and regulate emotions, a difficult process of breakdown before breakthrough (00:36:58).

    - Now recovered, Jade manages residual behaviors through self-awareness, balanced eating, and movement for mental health (00:43:26).

    Key Quotes:

    "The more that you understand or the more that you break down those individual emotions, the more you're able to cope with them." (00:25:55)

    "All I had to do was say it out loud." (00:51:14)

    Key Discussion Points:- Debunking the idea that weight loss medications are a long-term solution for finding happiness and food freedom (00:01:56 - 00:03:00)- Letting go of external validation and truly accepting yourself is key, even if you currently like how your body looks from disordered behaviors (00:03:37 - 00:04:12)- Facing fears and gaining the willingness to gain weight is necessary to be able to eat without restriction (00:29:45 - 00:32:34)- Learning to sit with discomfort and give yourself compassion is essential (00:13:59 - 00:14:06)- Our bodies naturally regulate and balance nutrition when we get out of our own way and stop restricting after allowing all food (00:53:00 - 00:54:12)

    Key Quotes:"You cannot get that unless you go through the fear. You can't. It's impossible." (00:31:16)"Always just sit in the suck, always come out the other side."

    In this episode, Victoria interviews Heidi Schauster, a nutrition and body image therapist, about supporting children in having a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. They discuss how parents can model positive behaviours, keep conversations about food neutral rather than moralistic, allow children pleasure in eating, handle picky eating, encourage movement joyfully, and more. Listeners can expect to gain insight into fostering body acceptance and food freedom for the next generation.Key Discussion Points:- How parents can support children in having a healthy relationship with food and bodies through positive modeling and neutral, non-judgmental communication (00:07:00)

    - Setting reasonable limits around certain charged "trigger" foods if needed, while still allowing pleasure and food freedom (00:17:46)

    - Letting kids tune into their bodies' natural signals and self-regulation abilities around eating (00:23:53)

    - Making physical movement a fun, family-oriented activity based on the child's natural temperament (00:35:27)

    - Signs that a child is struggling with food/body image issues and how to intervene and get professional support (00:36:43)

    Key Quotes:"I think the more neutral and joyful and relaxed we can be around food with children, the better." (00:07:15)"If the child is jumping up and down and saying, I want ice cream, to just say, we're not going to have ice cream tonight, but we might have it later this week. And just nonchalantly, not not with a lot of emotion." (00:17:46)"I would say that reaching out and letting them know that you are concerned is really, really important...the sooner, the better to actually let someone know that you're concerned, and potentially bring in some help."
